Yeah nah.
You don't tell them they're stupid for faith. You point out that the bullshit they're spouting is explicitly stated by their pie man in the sky to be the real express road straight to hell. Much more fun.
Like for instance every conservative Christian politician who was piously sworn in on the Bible, despite Jesus himself saying not to swear by anything and calling the practice demonic. By their own stated belief system they are inaugurating their public office with a satanic ritual.
This isn't some obscure passage either, it's in the Sermon on the Mount, one of the most famous scenes in the entire Bible. Anyone who swears on the Bible in any capacity clearly doesn't take it seriously enough to know anything about what it says.
And the alternative given to swearing oaths is just like... idk, maybe be honest in general, guys?
